American Invisible,
Inc.
 By
Hugh Madison
American Invisible, Inc. was the first novel I actually
finished, and I got to the end because I wrote it here,
online, in public. It tells the tale of a girl called
Susan who is good at things most people think are difficult,
and bad at things most people think are easy. She's
smart enough to live as a perpetual student at NYU where
she works towards her Doctor of Philosophy. Her subject
is Philosophy. She barely supports herself by a succession
of minimum-pay jobs that often last less than one evening.
She also happens to be a real, live superhero. She can
fly, turn herself invisible and, though she wears only
a size 6, lift heavy objects.
"You've heard of Superman and Batman?" Susan
shrugged. "I'm See-Through Sue."
